In particular, the case of flows past a circular cylinder placed above a plane wall has attracted a lot of attention recently. In this case, a stationary vortex is formed in front of the cylinder, in contradistinction to the usual case without the plane where a vortex pair is observed behind the cylinder. In the present work, we apply modern complex analysis techniques to obtain the complex potential for the problem of one point-vortex placed in a uniform stream past a circular cylinder above a plane. A typical streamline pattern is also shown.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-08-28T13:42:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "circular cylinder", "vortex flow", "multiple solid obstacles", "uniform stream past", "apply modern complex analysis techniques" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.5663M" } } }
